Anyone seen Angel Wing in Meat Birds? Seeing it in New Hampshires and White Rangers, wondering causes/solutions?

and FWIW I raise all my birds on 24% protein feed for roughly the first 12 weeks of life, sometimes a little less, depending on when they join the adult flock, and 20% thereafter. My ducks (pekins) get supplimental niacin via a sprinkling of nutritional yeast before joining the main flock

No Angel Wing.

I also have not had the massive growth rate (relative to a chicken) claimed for Pekin ducks, for whatever reason. Yes, they grow fast, but a proper Cx puts weight on faster than my TSC pekins and keeps putting weight on after my Pekins seem to stop. That may be a caveat in this case on the lack of angel wing in my flock. Also small sample size - I've raised maybe 30-ish pekins in the last few years and less than 200 chickens, mostly hatchery DP breeds.
I'm sorry, but what is Angel Wing? Symptoms?
I am currently raising 12 New Hampshires, (8wks old) as layers and have 25 Cornish Cross ordered for Sept.
Both flocks come from Mt. Healthy hatchery.
